General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

The mild tingle can be due to a mild nerve compression due to the internal swelling caused by the fall. As soon as the swelling subsides this tingle will improve on its own. This is not worrisome.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
